Assistant Chief Constable Julia Debenham said: “That the films have been viewed by so many people is hugely encouraging, as are the vast majority of comments people have posted online in support of the campaign.

“Next week we will be posting the second of the two-part fictional film online. It will show the events leading up to the rape, and in a way in which the viewer is forced to consider their own views about the crime.

“What I am most pleased about is that this campaign has already encouraged people to come forward and to make disclosures to us.

“I would urge anyone who has suffered sexual assault, whether it was recent or long ago, to feel confident that if they do take that difficult step to come forward, they will be supported and that their reports will be thoroughly and sensitively investigated.”

Millie Gant, manager of Juniper Lodge, said: “We took a call earlier this week from a woman who has decided to come forward many years after she was attacked and we are now working with her to help and support her.
